Loading 3D model… large boards can take a moment.
The Elixir is part of Golioth's "Aludel" platform, a family of devices that makes it easier to connect hardware to the internet using Golioth's Firmware SDK and cloud platform. The Aludel family of devices are widely used in Golioth's Reference Designs, which are end-to-end demonstrations of IoT devices targeted at different vertical applications.
This board primarily targets cellular connectivity but also has the ability to connect to/interact with WiFi networks; it can also be used for supplemental features such as Wi-Fi locationing. An on-board power management unit facilitates a large array of power options, including LiPo via the onaboard connector and charging capabilities, but also up to 48V input for industrial applications. There are are array of sensors and other other commonly used support ICs. Prominently featured on Aludel boards, including this one, are headers that conform to the MikroBus standard. This is a pinout from Mikroelectronika and supported by their wide range of plug-in sensor boards. We chose this standard for maximum hardware swappability, enabling our users to change to a different targeted sensor or industry vertical by replacing one or two click boards.
This is released as Revision C of the Elixir. Revisions A and B were internal-only and the naming will be maintained for continuity.
The Aludel form factor (Originally the "Aludel Mini" form factor) is based around the Bud Boxes CU-1937-MB. This was further customized with a milled alternative ordered custom from Digikey, described in more detail in this blog post. There are inserts that are 3D printed to target specific applications/Click boards, and a custom PCB front panel called the Aludel Ostentus, which also is OSHW.
The Elixir board is not available to purchase. Please contact devrel@golioth.io if you would like to arrange help with your manufacturing.
The Elixir is supported natively in the Reference Design Template. To use it in a build run the command:
west build -p -b aludel_elixir/nrf9160/ns --sysbuild app
This design was derived from Jared Wolff's open source nRF9160 Feather board and extended to fit the Aludel platform size. Additional items were added and some features removed or modified to fit the needs of Golioth Reference Designs
